Research
Johanna Sörensen's research focus is Urban Hydrology, with special interest in Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI, a.k.a. Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems, SUDS). In general, I want to better understand how blue-green infrastructure affects the hydrological cycle. My core research questions regard:
- Rainfall-runoff response in urban areas, with special focus on
- Rain gardens
- Tree pits
- Bioswales
- The relation between extreme rainfall (in combination with high sea level) and pluvial flooding
- Infiltration for different urban land uses
- Blue-green infrastructure for different urban morphologies/land uses
- Response to climate change
Besides urban hydrology, Johanna Sörensen also studies the socio-technical transition from a pipe-bound sewer regime to sustainable stormwater management. My core research questions here regard:
- Interdisciplinary physical planning of blue-green infrastructure in a densely built environment
- Climate change adaptation of urban areas
- Data management and documentation systems for blue-green infrastructure
With an extensive knowledge on hydrology, suitability, and management of BGI, it is possible to guide the implementation of these structures efficiently.
Teaching
I give lectures on stormwater, blue-green infrastructure, sewer systems, floods, and sustainability. For graduate students, I give one course in Advanced Hydrology and one on Sustainability. For master's students, I give a course on pipe system engineering. Usually, I supervise 2–3 master's thesis projects, often in collaboration with interested companies and water utilites.
